CITY SUBURBAN NEWS – Your Community Paper! for 29 Years!

Artist Tom Nussbaum explores narrative framework through psychological metaphors hiladelphia-born, New Jersey-based artist Tom Nussbaum is in the spotlight at Rowan University Art Gallery. His solo show, “Heads and Tales,” showcases a progression in his practice that moves between the representational and the abstract. The exhibit runs March 31 - May 10, 2014. A reception and gallery talk will be held on Wednesday, April 16, from 5 - 7 p.m.

“Heads and Tales” is an exhibition of selected studio work from the last 16 years, featuring a variety of mediums in which Nussbaum locates common attributes that embody a narrative framework.

“My work is the result of a process of self-discovery, a personal mining of images that have psychological meaning,” Nussbaum states. “Some of the work expresses interior feelings, and much of it focuses on relationships; between family members and friends, between the individual and society, and between the conscious and subconscious self.”

The work developed out of Nussbaum’s lifelong interest in building things that express his view of the world. He uses form and color and connections that can be found in the patterns and construction of fabrics and textiles from around the world, whether the micro and macro forms found in nature or man-made patterns such as interconnecting circuits and the world-wide web.

“The free-standing forms reflect my interest in architecture and the structural frameworks of buildings and towers, mixed with references to the human figure,” he adds.

“In some way these are all figures and vessel forms or containers, and as such also connect to my earlier work and the history of ceramics and basket making.”

Nussbaum is known for a variety of work including drawings, paper cuts, prints, sculpture, children’s books, animations, functional design objects, and site-specific commis-

sions. His sculpture and works on paper have been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States. Since 1987 he has completed more than 30 site-specific commissions located in a variety of public settings including public plazas, train stations, schools, hospitals, and environmental centers. In 1985 he began The Acme Robot Company, a cottage industry producing night-lights and light fixtures of his design. In 1988 he founded Atomic Iron Works, designing and producing iron hat and coat racks and other useful items. In 1992

A frequent visiting artist and lecturer at colleges and universities, Nussbaum has served on numerous peer review panels and juries.

Musician Satirist Roy Zimmerman in Philadelphia to Perform “Blue Dot Tour”

Watch Batteries

he Freethought Society and the Ethical Humanist Society of Philadelphia are announce the return of Roy Zimmerman to the Philadelphia area. Zimmerman’s “Blue Dot Tour” performance of original and funny songs about ignorance, war, greed, hope, struggle, change, and more greed takes place on Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Zimmerman’s one-of-a-kind performance begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Ethical Society’s Building located at 1906 South Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia. Admission is $18, with $15 for students and seniors.

Zimmerman is a satirical songwriter in the Tom Lehrer/Phil Ochs tradition. He tours almost constantly, taking his funny songs about fracking, creationism, marijuana laws, government shutdown, same-sex marriage, guns, taxes, and abstinence See Roy Zimmerman’s “Blue Dot Tour” across the country, often playperformance of original and funny songs ing in some of the least proabout ignorance, war, greed, hope, gressive places in America for struggle, change, and more greed on the most progressive people Wednesday, April 16, 2014, at 7:30 p.m. there—the “Blue Dots” Zimat the Ethical Society. merman has named them.

“I get accused of preaching to the converted,” he says, “but I don’t think of it that way. I think of it as entertaining the troops.”

The world is full of funny songs, but Zimmerman’s hilarious, rhymeintensive originals are also incisive calls to action — smart, savvy and undeniable. The “Blue Dot Tour” is ninety minutes of these songs — funny songs like The Faucet’s on Fire! and I Want a Marriage Like They Had In the Bible. Zimmerman’s concert includes heartfelt songs such as Hope, Struggle and Change and I Approve This Message.

Zimmerman spent the “Comedy Boom” years of the ’80s doing stand-up in San Francisco, sharing stages with George Carlin, Bill Maher, Dennis Miller, and many others. He wrote all the material for his funny folk music quartet The Foremen, recording two albums for Warner/Reprise Records.

“Roy Zimmerman simultaneously inspires me and makes me laugh my ass off,” says comedian/author Paul Krassner.

In thirteen albums over twenty years, Zimmerman has brought the sting of satire to the struggle for peace and social justice. His songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime. Zimmerman has recorded for Warner/Reprise Records, and he has been profiled on NPR’s All Things Considered. Zimmerman’s YouTube videos have amassed over seven million views, and he is a featured blogger for the Huffington Post.

Tal Shtuhl Trio at the Free Library of Philadelphia he Producer’s Guild in collaboration with the Philadelphia Jazz Project and the Free Library’s Music Department presents the Tal Shtuhl Trio in a free concert on Monday April 21, 2014, from 7:30 - 8:45 p.m., Montgomery Auditorium, Parkway Central Library, Free Library of Philadelphia, 1901 Vine Street. Call 215-686-5316 for information.

These three young musicians who grew up in the Hip-Hop Era but shine through in the timeless jazz tradition will perform original music as well as jazz standards. These master composers and skilled arrangers deserve every bit of the wider exposure that they are currently commanding. Tal Shtuhl (saxophone) studied at Temple University and at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in Holland. Kevin Daly (drums) also studied music at Temple.

Brian Howell (bass) honed his musical skills at the University of the Arts. The music of this dynamic trio is reminiscent of the hot jazz of the 60s and 70s, yet is deeply rooted in the triumphs and challenges of 21st Century Jazz.

Prior to this evening’s concert the Philadelphia Jazz Project in collaboration with Tony Williams of the Mount Airy Cultural Center and Thelma Anderson of the Council of Jazz Advocates will host a happy hour-like event called Dizzy Hours at the Gershman Y. The Gershman Y is located at 401 South Broad Street in Center City.

Passover is Almost Here, and We Have Way More than Four Questions

By Joyce Eisenberg and Ellen Scolnic emember when macaroons, the coconut Passover treat, came in only vanilla and chocolate? Now the supermarket displays are stocked with chocolate almond, chocolate dipped, chocolate chip, chocolate chunk, and doubly chocolate gluten-free. Choosing one is almost as confusing as deciding whether our teeth need the toothpaste with “advanced whitening” or “tartar protection.”

We’ve been known to stand before the drugstore shampoo display paralyzed with indecision. Is our hair fine or limp? Do we need “Truly Relaxed” or “Curl Control?” Mostly, we’re just glad to wake up Ellen Scolnic (left) and Joyce Eisenberg (right) presenting and find that we still have hair. their “Shmoozing With the Word Mavens” program at an We should probably go with area synagogue.

“Age Defy,” which promises to “turn back the strands of time.”

These days, there are more choices than ever – and it’s both wonderful and exhausting.

We understand how Russian immigrants, for whom shopping used to mean standing in a bread line, felt when they entered an American supermarket for the first time and were bewildered by the variety and abundance of consumer goods.

Shopping requires some soul-searching. To buy chicken broth, we have to weigh the relative evils of fat, salt, chemicals and chickens that haven’t been allowed to roam free. The problem is solved when we find a box that promises none of the above – at twice the cost.

We also have to debate the merits of tried and true vs. something new. That turns out to be easy: The brand-new, “light whole wheat Bran Matzos” don’t even tempt us. We’ll stick with the plain kind.

After we navigate the grocery aisles, we realize that with Pesach coming, we have way more than four questions: 1. Do we have enough room to include Uncle Harold’s “lady friend” this year?

2. Where exactly should we put that orange on the seder plate?

3. Will our family want the same-old haroset (the apple-wine mixture) or would they enjoy an exotic Sephardic version?

4. Should we finally buy new prayer books or use the raggedy old ones.

There are thousands of haggadot – the prayer book that details the songs and order of the Passover seder – in existence, from an ecological haggadah that asks us to think about the four trees to a feminist haggadah that focuses on the contributions of Miriam, Sarah, Rachel and other women in Jewish history. Other haggadot themes include LGTB, interfaith, and hip-hop (for those who want their Jewish tunes written by rap artists). The 30-Minute Seder

Chabad of Penn Wynne Presents Community Passover Seder “Relive the Passover Exodus” with Rabbi Moshe Brennan ew Jewish holidays evoke the same warm sentiments as Passover. Memories of family and friends gathered as the four cups of wine are poured, the four questions asked and the Matzah served, all contribute to Passover’s popularity in the Jewish community. Bringing the warmth and tradition of this festival to the Wynnewood Community, Chabad of Penn Wynne is inviting all residents to participate in community Seders to be held on Monday night, April 14, at 8 p.m. at the Kaiserman, JCC 45 Haverford Rd., Wynnewood PA. The Seders take participants through the wondrous liberation of our ancestors from Egyptian bondage, while sharing the relevance and beauty of the age old festival in our modern lives. Included in the Seder will be a full catered dinner, fine imported wine for the 4 cups, and handmade round ‘Shmurah’ Matzah from Israel.

“Passover is not simply a celebration of the historic liberation of an ancient people,” said Rabbi Moshe Brennan, of Chabad of Penn Wynne. “Passover is about our own personal liberation – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Passover inspires us to break free from the shackles restraining us from reaching new heights – in our lives, relationships and connection with G-d.”

All are welcome to join the community seder, regardless of Jewish affiliation or background.

Reservations can be made online at www.ChabadPennWynne.org.

But the skills you are learning in solving these types of problems, especially in areas of critical thinking and problem solving, will help you later in life.”

According to Mr. Hollowell you need more than mathematical ability to succeed in the competitions. “You have to have the ability, but you also have to be able to work well with others and you have to have motivation and the right attitude,” said the Mathletes moderator. “Successful students like Alex and Albert Emmanuel have all these qualities.”

A L M O S T H E R E NCAA Awards Graduate School Scholarship to Neumann Senior

Continued from page 9

haggadah caters to those who want to nibble the gefilte fish sooner rather than later.

There’s even a new edition of the Maxwell House Passover Haggadah, which more than 50 million people have used since it was first printed in the 1930s. It’s considered the longestrunning sales promotion in advertising history. On the inside cover it asks three questions: Do we want Master Blend, Breakfast Blend or Original Roast? Dayenu.

While we’re all in favor of diversity, we prefer to stick with the haggadot we pieced together through the years. We copied pages with our favorite passages, added in catchy songs from preschool, and deleted the parts we didn’t like. There is one chief advantage to hosting the seder: We get to choose the haggadah. As the most famous Pharaoh, Yul Brenner, said, “So let it be written; so let it be done.”

When we were young, the choices – both secular and religious – were few. Watching TV meant walking over to the set and turning the channel from ABC to CBS to NBC. Three channels, not three hundred. Buying sneakers meant choosing between Keds and Converse, and buying coffee meant instant or perked.

Now we can’t buy sneakers until we decide if we are going to use them for tennis, running or walking. (Go for cross-trainers if you’re indecisive.) Buying a cup of coffee requires weighing the merits of venti vs. grande, cream vs. nonfat soy, and fair trade vs. exploitation.

Passover was simpler then, too. There seemed to be just one recipe for haroset; it had apples and walnuts, not dates and pistachios and ginger. There was just one cup on the table for Elijah. You bought the big bottle of Manischewitz Concord Grape and didn’t worry if it paired well with roasted chicken or was perfect with salty fish appetizers.

Don’t get us wrong. We appreciate having lots of choices, but we do get tired of making them. And we know we’re not the only ones stressed out by the abundance of options. Maybe that’s why a number of manufacturers are reintroducing “classic” and “original” versions of their products.

This Passover, we’ll make it easy for ourselves, and we’ll pass over the “new and improved” super-tasty matzah, the “bigger and better” Pesachdik granola bars, and the “self-cooking” chicken. We’ll stick with tradition.

Joyce Eisenberg and Ellen Scolnic, also known as The Word Mavens, are the authors of the “Dictionary of Jewish Words.”

osabeth “Rosie” Kays is in very rare company. The Neumann University senior is one of just 13 young women in the country to receive a 2014 NCAA Women’s Enhancement Program Postgraduate Scholarship.

The scholarship is a $7,500 award for the 2014-15 academic year. Recipients must be enrolled in a sports-related program as a full-time graduate student. Kays has already been accepted to qualified programs at Barry University, Drexel University, Temple University, the University of Connecticut, and Virginia Commonwealth University. She’s weighing her options and negotiating for graduate assistantships.

“I was ecstatic when I found out about the scholarship,” admits the sport and entertainment management major from Palmyra, PA. “I want to be an athletic director at a small college or university, so a graduate degree in this field fits my career plans perfectly.”

As an added bonus, scholarship recipients get to attend the NCAA Career in Sports Forum (CSF), scheduled for June 5-8 at the NCAA national office in Indianapolis, Indiana. The CSF is an educational event about careers in sports with a primary focus on intercollegiate athletics. It gives 200 selected student-athletes the opportunity to network and learn from current athletic professionals. Scholarship recipients’ expenses (airfare, lodging and meals) are covered by the NCAA. Sarah Kurpel, senior woman administrator in the Neumann Athletic Department, urged Kays to apply for the scholarship in October of last year. Requirements included an online application, an essay about career goals, and three letters of recommendation.

During her years at Neumann, Kays played soccer and served as a Presidential Ambassador, Resident Assistant, and Orientation Leader. She also excelled in the classroom, gaining membership to the Delta Pi Epsilon Sigma National Honor Society as well as the Omicron Delta Kappa National Leadership Honor Society. In addition, she completed intern-
